Here's a list of my Switch Witch answers:

 

1) Would you like any of Cat Coven's Halloween goods? It's her original artwork based on medieval art. (It's a limited edition of everything, so hopefully things arent sold out yet.)

No, thank you.

 

2) Look at The Green Salmon's webpage The Green Salmon - do you fancy any of the teas, coffees etc? It's a favorite place for me to stop on the coast, and I'll take any excuse to drive to the ocean.

All of those teas look amazing - that fairy realms blend and the bathory blend both look fantastic.

 

3) What are your favorite halloween/samhain treats to eat? Please be specific. I have access to various candy stores, including healthy candy lol.

Any kind of sour gummy candy.  I love chocolates, but I also live in Texas and have concerns about mailing melty things.

 

Would you like any of these Snag Halloween tights? And if so, which of their sizes?

https://snagtights.com/pages/halloween

Grimoire, Gully, carnelian.  Size D, please.  (I have some of these in basic colors, but recently changed sizes and would love some new ones!)

 

 

im a knitter, though slow. I’ll have time for a scarf or washcloths during this round. 
 

would you like a scarf?  If so, colors, length, iwide or skinny?  Bulky yarn or thin and slinky?? 
 

How about some dishcloths, for the kitchen?  Or spa cloths for the bathroom?  If so, which?  Any particular colors?? 

I would love a scarf!  Fall colors - brown, olive, orange.  Bulky.

Spa cloths for the bathroom would be lovely!  I love pastels for the bath.

On the less sweet side, are there any other Australian things you might be tempted by?

Nothing comes to mind, although I will admit not knowing much about Australian treats.

I make lightweight hairfalls, the kind that can be attached to a pony  tail or to pig tails. They are good for those of us that are more tender-headed. I use a variety of materials like shibori ribbon, and puffy yarns and pieces of lace and silk. You can use them for every day or as part of your Weenie costume. Is this of interest to you? If so tell me what length, what color(s) and if you want one for a pony tail or two for pig tails.

Probably not, but they sound adorable and I'd love to see others' photos with them.

During my recent travels I got to experience the incredible delight of Serge Luten perfumers here in Paris (imagine if the Lab and Anna Sui made babies inside a Cadbury Cream Egg decorated with stained glass windows and...you've come close to the experience of being in that shop). Anyway, after spending gobs of monies, they loaded me up with delectable samples of their insanely expensive wares- do you want some???

OH HECK YES.

Haus Of Gloi just had their Halloween update! Anything appeal to you? https://www.hausofgloi.com/collections/fall-1

What about Halloween-related fandoms? (ie. The Nightmare Before Christmas)

Love Nightmare!  Also love Hocus Pocus!

 

 

I make things from thrifted sweaters that I cut up & make things from.  Do you like armwarmers?   - no thank you, it doesn't really get cold enough here for that.

 

 

How do you feel about cherry things? Check out Cherry Republic and let me know if anything catches your eye!

YES.  Cherry salsa looks awesome.  Chocolate with cherries is a yes.  Really, anything cherry is amazing.

 

Similarly, are you into fancy flavors of olive oil or vinegar? Check out Fustini's and let me know if anything appeals!

YES.  My family cooks nearly every meal at home and we love spices and oils and vinegars.  We love to make salad dressings with flavored balsamic vinegars, so one of those would be lovely.

 

We also have an awesome store for jams and sauce, American Spoon which you should totally check out!

This looks fantastic!  I do not much like maple syrup, but everything else looks great.

 

Would you like some locally sourced maple syrup?

I do not like maple, but my family does, so it would not go unappreciated.

I live near a Penzey's Spice https://www.penzeys.com 

- do you cook?  - very much!

- Do you want fancy schmancy spices or spice blends?  sure!

- Do you have a favorite alternative source that you prefer and or recommend?  For example egads I am asking lots of Qs Curio Spice Co, Diaspora etc do ethically sourced spices. 

-  If you cook is there a type of cuisine you are interested in learning more about and would appreciate a starter pack of spices for that type of cooking? - I cook all the things and we love Penzey's!  I rarely buy blends, so I'm open to trying some of those.

I love yarn, but I am presently drowning in it and have to say thank you but no thank you right now.

Might you like a witch hat?  Later this month I'm  taking a class at an area museum where I'm  supposed to decorate 2 hats.  Also I crochet wicked cute witchy hats.

That sounds like a fun Halloween decoration!

 

 

Do you see anything here that interests you?  They have dry shampoos, whipped soaps, awesome hand cream, linen spray, sugar scrubs and perfume. https://www.etsy.com/shop/faefragrance/?etsrc=sdt

Heavy hand cream or sugar scrubs would be lovely.

 

 

It's also that time of year where I make handmade soap (usually with calendula infused olive oil, tallow, oatmeal and honey) and candles (feel free to specify color and size, I don't usually scent them, but I do have a clover and apple scent I've been wanting to play with). I can also annoint and dress candles with TALs and herbs. Any interest? - yes, those sound lovely, including clover/apple scent.  I have not tried TAL yet and would love something anointed with it.

 

I also grow herbs which can be culinary or magical. I'd be happy to prepare a smudge or dry some herbs for your enjoyment. I currently have oregano (yellow and standard), mugwort, thyme, sage (purple or garden), tea peppermint, chives, lovage, plantain, comfrey, raspberry leaf, and yarrow. I'm probably forgetting something. - I would love some magical herbs - that is something I have not tried much of and would love some to try, especially if it came with some guidance.

 

I also make salves! My go to in an arnica, calendula and comfrey mix for healing wounds or chapped skin. This can also be used on pet paws. We do have barely enough time that I could do a custom infusion. - that sounds fantastic!  I use arnica on my shoulder when I have ouchies there, so I would love a custom salve.

Lillian, my French sheepdog, loves crunchy treats, especially with pumpkin or blueberries in them, but she is not picky.  She also really likes rice.

Etsy here.
 

Do you have anything you use every day that you wouldnt mind getting more of?

How do you feel about stickers?  If positively, are there any themes you'd rather not have stickers of?

What about crystals, cool rocks, and gemstones?

Yes!  I love small things that can go on my desk to look at or handle while I work.

 

 

How do you feel about Squishmallows and Squishables? (They have mini and micro sizes for those who like cute plushies but don't have a lot of space.)

I used to make mobiles out of paper cranes, would you appreciate something like this? if so, what size restrictions do you have, if any? ie., should it take up less space vertically or horizontally? color palette preference? 

That would be very pretty in my office!  The walls are a very pale yellow and my very favorite color is orange.

 

 

Anything you'd like from my Ren Fest?  There is an outstanding garlic based shop I'll  be going to next weekend, for my annual stock up of their spice blends & garlic oil blends.  Any other Renny stuff that you like?

Oh, garlic or spices would be great!  I haven't been to Ren Fest in many years, but I do remember lovely handmade ceramic mugs and I drink a lot of hot drinks, so I would be delighted with one of those.

 

know we are looking at a lot of candles, but if you are into looking at more (and it is ok to say you are not), do any of these strike your fancy?
